haha, remember my condition for being in this tourney…if you aren’t there kbron, I don’t have to be either.
Sorry I couldn’t run the tourney or enter this time guys (not sure, but Hellsap is going to run for me?) but I really have a bad case of the flu.
I will promote a tourney more sometime in February so there are more people that show and it’ll be kickass, and I’ll destroy Serpent. :tup:
Alright, another horribly run tourney by moi…
Serp thinks he can do a better job, so I nominate him or Airthrow to run it next time.
1st - K’Bron
2nd - HellSap
3rd - Emil
4th - Serpent
5th - Dj Lindo + Steeletek… both ran off…
6th - Vaider, DaDrake, (--)JJ(--) of TEAM EVOLUTION (heil!)
7th - Chi, Truetech
8th - LWK, Ryujin
GGS People, better than last time, but major problems with people taking forever to get their games going Canada VS Mexico…
Thanks for everyone that showed up.
Ah yes… but it couldn’t be helped. We were going to lag in any server… I wish I could play a decent game with Emil, that just didn’t feel fair… lag, delay, desynch… ugh…
yeah, I know, sometimes lag is pretty unavoidable… oh well…
Oh… heres our final match…
I didn’t do a bad job running the tournies before IMO…next month I will definately have one with 20+ players.
LWK got 8th, WTF?!??!
Sorry man…the lag caused me to play more keep away (especially with Athena), so I was sort of cheap there. If I just jumped with the lag, I’d likely get nailed. I’m usually not a keep away player at all, except for when I use Orochi Shermie.
geez…took about 40 min after this thing was supposed to start that people went off to play thier games, sigh if we just started at 4 i couldve atleast played that match with JJ before my dad punted me outside to shovel snow :sad:
I’ve been advised to not enter anymore kaillera tournies. I’m a reaction/thinking player, I don’t just throw out random shit and hope it hits like some people do. If my ping is over 30, I can’t react. It becomes a guessing game. I don’t guess. In both my losses I had 74 or higher ping. Kbron isn’t a random player, so he was affected too, but I beat him before extending it to extra matches anyway. I’ll admit something to you Bron, I wanted the extra matches because I wanted to lose to you, instead of fighting that random idiot Hellsap again and losing to him. You won the entire tourney, and you’re a more respectable winner than that moron. I doubted my ability to beat him under those conditions, considering he did knock me out of winners with his nonsense.
These tournies are just retarded. They need to be region specific. We need a West and East division, and we can make the finals optional between these divisions. But the current format is retarded. Also there was nonsense with other stuff, and I logged it for everyone’s viewing pleasure. The reason why Lindo and Steeletek ran off is in the log. I don’t know if its in the log, but I was making fun of the Steele vs Hellsap winner’s final, and Lindo agreed responding with something like ‘when those two ridiculous playstyles meet, you don’t know what will happen’.
Kaillera is retarded. The better player does not win in many cases. Most of the shit you random retards do doesn’t work at all in real play. Kaillera is only good when its people that don’t abuse lag tactics. Sadly, I think every last one of those people has long since quit. Theres only one person left on kaillera that I know that plays a good style, because I’ve played him in the arcades and he plays KOF the same way and wins there too.
Pretty much all the A3 players either abuse lag, use macros, or just plain suck themselves as well.
I guess kaillera can be good for those old co-op beat 'em up games, like D&D, Final Fight, etc. Its certainly retarded for fighting games. This is why I rarely play someone I don’t know on kaillera. I’ll stick to playing the good players I already know.
Haha, i’m mad you’re JUST now realizing this.
heh 7th place i have no idea how but w00t
Well, my experience with HellSap is that he’ll throw out random stuff that he knows are safe…so whether it hits or not, he won’t really be punished often (ie. numerous repeated burn knuckles, Mai qcb+P in the air, etc). But…that’s nowhere near as bad as the idiots I face on kaillera, that just throw out supers at random and hope they land.
Those moves are not safe offline. I can either DM, hop back and punish, sweep, fireball, DP, jump back and kick, jump up and kick, etc. Thats why you don’t see repeated BKs in real play, they don’t work. Thats why you don’t see people jumping around with Mai and diving, it doesn’t work. Hell, I think you can block both, might be distance based, might not, and still punish. Fucking stupid. When I have low ping I rape both those characters. Hell, I’ll play hellsap and put inputs up for you if we don’t desynch. I don’t even need top tiers to rape him, I’ll own him with my mid-tier Kyo.
Well, the problem in the HellSap vs. K’Bron match seemed to be that he just accidentally did the wrong Burn Knuckle (which happens alot if you’re a keyboard player). C, C Burn Knuckle does not combo, yet he did do that a few times. But generally, A Burn Knuckle is unpunishable, unless you back up and throw a projectile (you could hit him out of it but it usually trades hits, in his favour). The reason he does all those qcb+P with Mai in the air is that it trades hits with most anti-airs (such as Iori’s). And that’s assuming someone can do the anti-air in time. There aren’t many things that can punish it after it’s blocked either (although if it hits deep, you can easily throw her out).
Edit: You can’t countersweep Mai’s qcb+P or Terry’s A Burn Knuckle.
lol, Serpent. You’re getting too pissed off, off of some kaillera internet matches that mean absolute jack shit.
I remember me and you talking about this shit numerous times before, in terms of reaction type things. Stop getting worked up, there’s no reputation on the line or whatever bullshit.
I also think it’s pretty obvious to tell who actually takes advantage of the lag, and who doesn’t. Also, IMO, the best(and it’s still iffy) you can get out of kof on kaillera is mame 60 may 3, on a private server with ping total between you and your opponent simultaneously less than 25. I used to play games with Drew online like that, until I played with him a few times offline.
The fact that you posted all pissed and shit about this is fucking stupid, because it has no effect on what happens offline. I thought you were above this.
I guess you’re right man. I’m just a tad aggravated with all the stupid nonsense. I’ll get over it. I’ll certainly speed getting over it by not entering anymore of these bullshit online tournies though. Theres absolutely no fun in this crap. It’s not the rep or anything like that, its the fact that those matches are so annoying to play. Kaillera is just too stupid to even be fun, in which case there ceases to be a reason for its existance.
I lose to Mexicans on kaillera way more than I do when I play them at the arcade. And I play exactly the same way head to head as online. :karate:
If you got first would you still be whining?
most of my shit is heavily distance based…
and notice, you cant dash back while in the corner, when the fun with the stuff really starts… and mais musubi no mai will mostly trade near the feet unless its ryo…
I think the discussion is mostly over, but yeah, lag does mess up some pretty timing critical stuff, but its not something to get worked up over, or get extremely bitchy about if you cant handle it.
OC is right, who the fuck pays attention to this anyway, I only use it as a way to have matches with people Id never play, and learn something. If youre not learning anything nor having fun, dont play I guess.
Where do you see OC? I don’t see any OC
I see Slide, not Cat.
